SPORTSWEAR
| Throughout her life, Queen Maud enjoyed a variety of sports. Riding was a very traditional activity for both men and women in Britain and Maud learned to ride as a young girl. Weather and social demands permitting she rode every day. Her riding habits featured the apron-style skirts of the late 19th century, which were cut and tailored to fit while seated sidesaddle. |  Riding habit, boots and hat, 1920s, OK 68-1962, OK 110-1962, OK 108-1962 The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design: Stiftelsen Kunstindustrimuseet i Oslo.

| Queen Maud and her husband took up Norwary's national sport of skiing when they arrived in 1905 and continued it for many years after. Maud skied twice a day, weather permitting, during her winter visits to the royal residence in the hills above Oslo. By the 1920s, most female skiers were wearing trousers for skiing. In her mid-60s, Maud finally adopted this casual style of sportswear. |
